Born to Live and Die Alone

Chapter 4: Night Beyond Belief

X and Lucy jumped out of the window and landed onto the soft, tilled land covered by weeds, obviously not cared for in many months or years. Both X and Lucy gave a small "humph" as they hit the ground with their feet. 

X had slipped off his feet and fell face first, inches from the concrete sidewalk, 

"That was too close for comfort," exclaimed both Lucy and X at the same time looking into each other's eyes dreamily. 

Lucy extended her hand to assist X off of his face and he complied. Lucy lifted X off the ground with unanticipated strength, and as X landed on his feet once again, he looked into her eyes, dumbfounded, 

"You know," X placed a hand onto Lucy's right cheek, "you really are a total catch." Lucy placed her hand on X's and began to blush and gave a small tear. 

They began to walk east and holding hands on the way. They ended up at the bank of the Mississippi River close to twenty minutes later, Lucy sat down a blanket on the ground that she had brought with herself. She sat down and patted her hand on the seat available next to her for X to accompany her by her side for warmth. 

X had sat next to her, about a foot away, and Lucy looked at his and said, 

"Baby, I don't bite... at least not yet, " A wink and a bite of the lower lip was involved with her remark. "If you say so," X rubbed his arm nervously as Lucy slide over, colliding their sides. 

"Isn't that better X?" Lucy said in a romantic tone, "I'm warm aren't I?" 

"Yeah," X said quietly, "I've always dreamt of being able to cuddle with someone..." X added, his tone getting quieter as the words escaped his mouth. 

"Well," Lucy said pausing sliding closer, "Call me a genie, because your wish is about to come true." Lucy laid herself onto the blanket and waited for X to lay next to her. 

She was making small circles in the blanket in front of her, beginning to get impatient. X then slowly commenced to settle, he was spontaneously pulled to the ground by Lucy, she was a very impatient person. 

X rested his hand on his stomach and Lucy turned herself so she was facing X and swung her arms around him, pulling herself close. She placed her right leg over his legs and trembled her body as her body made full contact with his. X removed his arm from his stomach, to around Lucy and moving his hand to her back, and kneading it softly. 

Lucy bite her lip and looked into X's eyes like he was the only man in the world, his eyes like endless oceans of clear blue water. She ran her fingers through X's hair, softly and careful to not harm his scalp. 

"Wow, your hair is so... soft." Lucy said with a small giggle, "I love it so much," she added, with shortness of breath. 

"I never noticed," X said, with a small laugh whilst gawking into the deep vacuum of space. 

"The sky," Lucy rolled her head so she could view the heavens, "it recalls a sight I've seen before..." X added. 

"What is it?" Lucy questioned, turning her head, looking into the side of X's head. X slowly turned his head and glared into Lucy's eyes, "Your eyes." X said bashfully. 

Lucy placed the tip of her finger in the grip of her teeth, looking into X's eyes. "You're too sweet X, I never knew this side of you, and it's astonishing!" Lucy said to X blushing. 

Lucy rolled herself so she was laying on X and she wrapped her arms around X's neck and curling her legs so they are bent. Her calves flat on the blanket. X sat there and interconnected his hand with her back. Lucy felt comfortable, like she could say or do anything, she leaned into his ear and uttered three simple words, 

"I. Love. You." She then nuzzled her nose into X's neck and gave it a playful lick before falling asleep. 

"Umm... Hon?" X expressed with a slight shake of his shoulder that Lucy was laying on. He was worried, he didn't want to arise her from her serene slumber. He wanted to endure this moment, every moment, for the rest of his life. 

X had only one choice, he would need to carry her back to his home and let her rest, he wasn't sure where she lived and it was the only idea that came to mind. He kept her wrapped around his neck and rested the blanket over her shoulders and interlocked his fingers and used them as a cradle for Lucy's petite body, she fit perfectly into him, like they were made for each other. 

X walked home slowly, looked down at Lucy every once and awhile, making sure she was ok. 

X removed the blanket from around her through the window and onto the floor in his room to use as a cushion for her as he placed her onto the carpet of his room. As he scaled through his window and into his bedroom, he discovered Lucy Sitting wide awake on the ground, right where he left her. 

"I'm sorry that i woke you up, I didn't mean to." X said with his tail between his legs. 

"I was never asleep, I just wanted to be carried by the sexiest stack of meat I've ever met." Lucy responded with a wink and the blowing of a kiss. 

"I see, that is good acting, keep that up and you might get more..." X said with a bite of his lip and a small wink. 

"It doesn't look as good on you as it looks on me, no offense, just helping." Lucy countered, "Just leave it to me Sweetums." Lucy said with a wink.
